In case of Thraustochytrids, I got more than 6 isolates by agar plating. However except Aurantiochytrium spp. all others grow very slowly. What could be the reason behind? I am using GYP broth and agar medium with D-glucose 5g/L, Peptone 2 g/L, Yeast Extract 2 g/L, agar 1.5% in 15ppt seawater medium and incubation temperature is 24-25 degree Celsius. There will be thrasutochytrim and schizochytrium and ulkenia strains. I want to know the reason for the poor growth of the strains other than Aurantiochytrium. All strains are isolated from tropical mangrove waters (leaves, mud, water, algal mats, 10-25 ppt) during December - March months, atmospheric temperature around 35-37 degree Celsius. Can anybody help me?
